Gratitude List

Gratitude List

          Wow...the year has gone by fast! Now it's almost THANKSGIVING?!?! Oh my God! Well, anyways, there are a lot of things I am thankful for this year. So many that I can't name everything! The first thing I am thankful for is my family. They have been with me since I was born, and they help me every step of the way. I would NEVER let go of them. 
          The second thing I am thankful for is a good school education. My old school wasn't the best...mostly just reading a chapter, taking notes, then take a test. I mean, people might say it's good, but it's SO HARD! You could have a test for every period in ONE DAY there! Now that I go to Golf Middle School, things are much easier! I have done much better, and there is less stress than my old school. 
          The third and final thing I am thankful for is all the gifts my family have given me. See, I am lucky to have a family with enough money to buy thinks, like flat screen TVs, Mac Computers, iPhones, and much more! Right now, I am hoping to get an HTC Vive (Virtual Reality Headset), which costs about 1,000 DOLLARS!!! I doubted myself and said "I can't get this! It's too much money", but my mom said "I'll look at it", and I freaked OUT!
          I am so lucky to have all of these things in my life, and I never want to lose them!

Food, Glorious Food

Food, Glorious Food

          One day, my family and I went to a Chinese place, Gong, in Mexico (we went to Mexico during the week of Christmas). It was late at night, so we were VERY tired, especially my sister and my cousins. Turns out, one of my cousins, Grant, fell asleep, starving and tired. Once we got there, we ordered the food right away, but it felt like HOURS before the food actually came!!

          Cousin (Maya): I'm STARVING

          Me: I REALLY hope the food comes soon...

          Sister (Kendall): It better! I need food!

10 minutes later

          Mom: If the food doesn't come soon, we are leaving.

          Maya: I am SOOO hungry, I could eat my plate!

          Kendall: We can just take the leather off of it!

          Me: Good idea!

          See, we were so hungry, that we could tear the leather off the plates and eat it. But after we started to grab knives (VIOLENT), the food ACTUALLY came! I was so thankful at that point, along with Kendall and Maya. We SCARFED all the food down.

          Later, my grandma tried to wake Grant up so he could eat. He was partly awake when my grandma lightly moved him.

          Grandma: Grant, let's eat!

          Grant: No...(drowsy)

          Grandma: Come on, it's rice! You love rice!

          Maya: Grant, do you want your rice now?

          Grant: *Falls over, waves hand, goes to sleep*

          Everyone: *Laughs*

          Now, ever since that day, whenever someone says what Maya said to Grant, he RUNS away and yells "NO". I will never forget that day, especially when I eat rice. Rice is now one of my favorite foods because of this moment.

My Favorite Toy

My Favorite Toy

          When I was a little kid, I used to have a toy that I would take EVERYWHERE. It didn't matter-the store, the pool, at the dinner table, and almost anywhere you can think of. First of all, do you know what the movie Bolt is? Well if you don't, it is about a White German Shepard (Bolt) that has super powers that is trying to save the world. The story behind all of this is one day, "I got" a stuffed animal version of Bolt that I was obsessed with (I got is in quotes because it wasn't really mine; I stole it from my sister, but she didn't care XD). Again, no matter where I was, I would always carry Bolt around, or else I wouldn't move. Bolt was with me until I was....10 or so. He was a BIG deal. I really loved him, and never wanted to let go of him. But one day, I actually did. I started to lose interest in Bolt. I got tired of taking him everywhere. A little before, I had too much to carry (a stuffed cat, a stuffed bull dog, and Bolt), so I wanted to give Bolt a break. When this happened, I had no clue what to do with him; I couldn't just give him away! Luckily, my dad decided to keep Bolt, since he meant so much to me and my dad saw how much I liked him over the years. My dad decided to put Bolt in his closet. Even now, I still go in that closet to look at Bolt, so I can remember all the good times I had with him. I guess Bolt was the first real "friend" I had, and our friendship lasted for over 5 years.

In 10 Years

In 10 Years

          10 years from now, I would like to live in a nice home with a great family. I mean, who wouldn't want that? I will get to take care of people that I love dearly. At least, pretty much no one wants to take care of terrible kids and have a terrible person to live with. Also, I would love to travel around the world and explore as much as I can. See, since I love Science, this will be a good thing for me to do, because I can learn SEVERAL things about our environment. I can learn about animals, the weather, and what goes on in nature daily. It will also be fun to learn about the exotic lands. I might also do things that I love to do for a job, like dance/teach others or help others that are in need (I really care about others and if they are okay or not). I bet I will make a good amount of money from this. This is how I picture myself in 10 years.

          

Ballet Quote

          This quote represents me because I love to dance, but mostly ballet. First, it's true-dancing with feet is one thing. Almost all of the moves are from the feet. But what is really important is "Dancing with the heart is another". For me, I am very passionate in dancing, and want to keep doing it. Right now, I am in pointe, so I don't want to stop here. If ballet wasn't a part of my life, I wouldn't be as happy and have as much fun as I am now.

          

About Me

About Me

           My name is Skylar. I love to dance, sing, and game in my free time. I have danced ballet since I was 3, and still do now. I have always been interested in singing, but have always had a little bit of stage fright. I have also gotten more and more into gaming lately, like playing Minecraft. All of these things have been my favorite things to do for a long time now.

          My favorite book/book series is The Princess Diaries. I ended up reading the whole series last year for my AR books, and I didn't want to stop.  Once I got to the last book, I made sure there weren't anymore, since I really liked these books. Turns out, there were none left, and I was kind of sad. But at least this was the last book I needed for ARs for the year. I do really hope the author will make more of these books.

          Lastly, I live in a family of 4, or family of 7 if my dogs are counted. I live with my mom, dad, Kendall (sister), and three dogs, named Wolfie, Otto, and Maggie. They all have helped me throughout my life and are very important. My mom and dad help me when I'm having trouble with something, my sister keeps me company so I'm not bored and lonely, and my dogs keep me safe and comfort me when I'm upset.
